TRANSFER REEL.

Application filed November 29,1920.

T0 aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PERRY D. FRAZER, a citizen of the I nited States, and resident of Ridgewood Bergen County, New Jersey, have made a certain new and useful Invention Relating to Transfer Reels. of which the following is a specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, which forms part of the same.

This invention relates to transfer reeling devices to facilitate the reeling off of the fish line from the usual fishing reels and the drying of the line thereon if desired and the reel is preferably made with a face plate carrying a plurality of line supporting pins while a cooperating detachable cover plate may carry one or more such pins and preferably have a loose or releasing pin which may be conveniently connected to the winding handle used to turn the reel. After the line has been wound up around these pins and between the two plates the releasing or handle pin may be withdrawn so as to release the tension in the coils of line and allow the cover plate to be detached without undesirable rubbing or injury to the line which is of course important where expensive enameled fishing lines are being handled. The face plate and cover plate may be detachably connected by a connector bearing sleeve passing through and formed with a suitable shaft opening and this con nector sleeve may be preliminarily connected to one of the plates and detachably connected to the other plate in any suitable way while its central opening enables it to fit on the shaft on which the reel operates. This shaft may be connected toa suitable bracket preferably havinga clamping device to connect it to a table or support and also in many cases be advantageouslyprovided with a pivot on which a revoluble take-off frame or device may be mounted to cooperate with shipping.

the reel and support the coil of line which is being wound thereon.

In the accompanying drawing showing in asomewhat diagrammatic way an illustrative embodiment of this invention.

Serial No. 426,901.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail section of the detachable connection shown in Fig. 3.

23 comprise a face plate 1, of sheet metal in which a circumferential series of supporting p ns such as 7, 8, 9, 10 may be riveted or otherwise connected. The cooperating cover plate as which may also be formed of aluminum or other rigid and preferably light sheet metal is preferably formed with holes to accommodate the ends of the face plate iins such as 7, 8 and this cover plate may have in some cases one or more cover pins such as 1]., riveted thereto and having their ends loosely engaging holes in the face plate.

It is quite desirable in many cases to have one of the pins on which the line is wound preliminarily released or detached so as to loosen the tension or pressure of the coiled line on these pins before the cover plate is withdrawn and for this purpose the releas ing pin 26-ma-y be loosely mounted in the cover plate so that its end can be preliminarily withdrawn from the hole of the face plate, so that this pin can move inward suffi- The reel may as indicated in Figs. 1 and ciently to release the tension of the line before the plates are taken apart. It is advantageous to have this releasingpin serve as a support for the winding handle 6, by which the reel will be manually rotated to wind up the line thereon and by forming a suitable enlargement or retaining collar 19 on this releasing handle pin 26, it may be permanently though loosely connected with the cover plate so that the danger of its being lost is minimized.

Any suitable bearing holes or portions may be formed on these reel plates and as indicated in Fig. 3, they may be provided with a bearing sleeve 21 preferably permanently secured to one of the plates such as the face plate 1 and this bearing sleeve may be formed with an axial hole for the shaft 20 on which the reel turns when the line is being wound thereon. This bearing sleeve may also serve as a detachable connection for the reel plates and may be pro vided with any suitable form of detachable connection for this purpose. A desirable arrangement is shown in Fig. 4 as comprising the spring pressed latch or detent 5" nether in oper ative position while it is of course easy to manually depress this spring latch so that when forced into the slot the cover plate may be withdrawn from the reduced end oi the bearing sleeve 21, so as to separate these plates when it is desired to take off a reeled up coil of line.

A suitable bracket 2 may have the shaft 20 mounted on its upper end as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2 and may have a clamping device such as the clamping screw 18 at its other end so as to secure the bracket firmly to a table or other support. 111 some cases also it is desirable to have the bracket formed with a vertical pivot such as 17' connected by the enlarged portion 15 to the bracket so as to form a revoluble support for the journal or sleeve 16 of the take-oil i'rame shown in Fig. l as comprising the bottom or plate 3 and the series oi supporting loops or wires 12, 13, 14-. it coil of fish line or generally similar material may be dropped over these supporting loops and the line wound therefrom onto the fishing reel without undesirable twisting or kinking which of course is especially important with hi h grade and enameled line. By making the bottom plate of this take-off frame of light aluminium of about the same diameter of the reel plates the entire reeling device may be assembled very compactly for packing and shipping and indicated in Fig. 2 the bracket may be slipped between the supporting loops of the take-off frame so as not to occupy any substantial additional space when the parts are put into a square box or case with the reel plates superimposed on the take-oil? trame.

This invention has been described in connection with a number of illustrative cmbodiments, lo-rms. portions, parts, materials, arrangements and methods of manufacture and use, to the details of which disclosure the invent-ion is not of course to be limited, since what is claimed as new and what is desired to be secured by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims.
